rmoore@ourcoloradonews. com The Lone Tree Arts Center proved a good fit for the 2013 Stars of Tomorrow talent show. Nearly 30 Douglas County students competed for more than $4,000 in scholarships from the Kiwanis Clubs of Castle Rock and Douglas County. The students were selected from a field of Douglas County students for the club’s ninth show. It was the first time the event was at the Lone Tree Arts Center, where competitors let down their hair as they prepared to go on stage, said Ron Claussen, Kiwanis spokesman.

having a great time. The arts center just did a great job with everything.” The show is the first stop for Douglas County High School senior Katelyn Pyfer, who won

Best of Show and a spot at the district competition. Pyfer performed a piano recital, accompanied on guitar by her brother Mathew Pyfer. She will advance from the Kiwanis Clubs of Colorado District Stars of Tomorrow to compete against statewide Stars of Tomorrow winners for additional scholarship money.

The Colorado Court of Appeals has upheld Douglas County’s pilot school voucher program, overturning a 2011 Denver District Court ruling. The plaintiffs who set out to stop the voucher program say they’ll appeal the case to the Colorado Supreme Court. “I think it’s safe to say the final decision will be made by the Colorado Supreme Court,” said school board President John Carson, who said the program would not start until “we’ve got clearance from the legal system. It’s not clear exactly when that will be yet.” Two members of the three-judge appeals-court panel agreed in the Feb. 28 decision to uphold the voucher plan, with a third judge dissenting. “We conclude that plaintiffs do not have standing to seek redress for a claimed violation of (Colorado’s school finance law), and that the (Choice Scholarship Program) does not violate any of the constitutional provisions on which plaintiffs rely,” the ruling said. “Therefore, we reverse the district court’s judgment and remand the case for entry of judgment in defendants’ favor.” Carson said he’s cautiously optimistic. “We’re just excited we’ve gotten a real clear statement from some esteemed judges in the state that the program is in fact constitutional,” he said. “That’s a huge stamp of approval. We feel this decision puts us in a real good state going forward.” Plaintiff Jamie LaRue, director of Douglas County Libraries, sees it differently. “Now the score card stands that two judges think it’s constitutional and two judges think it’s unconstitutional,” he said. “Either way, it was going to the Supreme Court.” The 2011 pilot program, which the school district named the Choice Scholarship Program, granted a limited number of Douglas County students state school funding to use at private schools, most of Voucher continues on Page 10

Murray parts with party by supporting civil-unions bill Lawmaker among two Republicans to back SB11 By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com State Rep. Carole Murray says she doesn’t know if what she did on Feb. 28 will result in a primary challenge when she’s up for re-election next year, but she does have a message for anyone who might decide to run against her. “Bring it on, I guess,” Murray said in a

recent interview with Colorado Community Media. The Republican from Castle Rock — who describes her conservative beliefs as being “right of Attila the Hun” — caught many by surprise when she Murray voted for a civil unions bill, following a lengthy committee hearing in the House of Representatives. Senate Bill 11 — which would grant gay couples in Colorado rights that are similar to marriage — passed the House Judiciary

Committee, and now continues through the House. It already has passed the Senate. Murray, who is a devout Catholic, spoke through tears as she read a statement to fellow committee members, in which she explained her yes vote. “It’s not for me to judge others, but to leave that up to God,” she said. “While on Earth, Jesus asked us to love one another. In this spirit, I’ll be a yes vote on this bill.” Murray also said during the hearing that her conservative beliefs in “personal liberty” and “equality” are found in this legislation. She said that gay couples who are seeking to enter into civil unions are taking

on a “personal responsibility” that also is a conservative belief. “And, in my opinion, there’s not enough of that in our society today,” she said. Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, who also serves on the Judiciary Committee, said afterward that he had “no idea whatsoever” that Murray was planning on voting for the bill. “I sat there as she was talking and I thought to myself, ‘Wow, she’s talking as if she’s gonna vote yes,’ ” Salazar said. “Then, she kept going and I thought, ‘Oh my God, she is going to be a yes.’ Murray continues on Page 10

Young reader’s love lives on On book selection day, one of the most special days at Iowa Elementary in Aurora, almost 2,000 new stories crowd the school library. There’s “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” And “Misty of Chincoteague.” And “The Good Dog.” And so many more. But the best story isn’t in a book. It’s the one being written every time Carole and Joe Hemmelgarn walk through the doors, hauling their load of books to lovingly place into the hands of every child there. It’s the one being written every time students ask about Alyssa, their 9-year-old daughter. “Do you miss her?” “Are you sad?” It’s the one being written with every hug Carole and Joe, and the children, give to each other. “It’s a gift,” Principal LuAnn Tallman says. “It’s a relationship. Someone else cares about them.” And someone else cares about Alyssa, who died suddenly six years ago, breaking her family’s hearts. “They talk of her as a personal friend,” Tallman says of her students. “We really consider Alyssa a part of our school.” That means everything to Joe and Carole. “As the years go by, people don’t ask anymore,” Carole says. “Kids are amazing. They’re not afraid to ask ….” If you asked, you’d hear a story about loss and sorrow, but also about hope. And love. And books. It begins, of course, with Alyssa. Doctors diagnosed the leukemia on Feb. 26, 2007. She was two months shy of her 10th birthday when she died 10 days later of complications from the treatment. “The heartbreak, the heartache ….” Joe’s voice trails off. Her bedroom, still as it was when she last slept in it, reflects the boundless enthusiasm and diverse interests that

endeared her to so many. Under the bed is the board with the intricate city she spent a whole day folding out of scrap paper. In a large shadow box on the wall are the colorful googly-eyed puff ball creatures she made for each holiday, a picture of her favorite go-with-her-everywhere white teddy bear with the red heart called Valentine, clothespin dolls she created, poems she wrote for her classes at Fox Creek Elementary in Highlands Ranch. She titled one “Upside Down.” Yesterday my brain flipped upside down And my train of thought crashed And thirty of my brain cells died … So please excuse my attention span in Math. “She was a goofy kid,” Joe says. At the beginning of fourth grade, she started waking up at 4:30 every morning. “She made her breakfast, fed her lizard, played the guitar. It was almost as if she felt ‘I’m running out of time here.’ ” Her best friend was her younger brother, Griffin, now 12. Smiley and funloving, Alyssa grew her hair to cut it off for wigs for cancer patients. She loved to ski, play soccer — and read. A book she was reading when she died, “The Fairy’s Return and Other Princess Tales,” still rests on her dresser. That last Christmas, she had written her parents a note. Dear Mom and Dad, Thank you for caring for me. And loving me. Stay warm and help old and poor. Thank you. Love, Alyssa. Merry Christmas. For Carole and Joe, the words took on new meaning after her death.

“When parents lose a child,” Carole says, “there’s this need to give back or do something.” They combined Alyssa’s love for reading with her compassion for the less fortunate and, a year later, in 2008, the Alyssa Cares Foundation was born. They decided to take books to schools where most of the students qualified for free and reduced lunch, a marker of poverty, and where reading scores were low. Iowa Elementary was the first school. Today, four more elementaries participate — Harrington, Doull and Swansea in Denver, and Paris, also in Aurora. Carole and Joe, with Griffin and their volunteers, visit each school three times a year and bring enough books to give every child — from kindergarten to fifth grade — one to take home, each time. So far, they have distributed more than 30,000 books, all bought with donations from individuals and corporations. “We tell Alyssa’s story, about her love for reading,” Joe says. “The book is our way of having the introduction. We talk a lot about what it can do for you in your life. … The gateway to learning is reading, and everything becomes a little easier if you can read.” But something else, a little bit magical, blossomed along the way. “We did not see how they would connect with Alyssa,” Carole says. “She’s like this mentor. They want to read for her. They say, ‘We want to be like you, Alyssa.’” And they want to share their stories, many of which, like Carole’s and Joe’s, are of struggles and loss. “Storytelling,” Carole says, “is so powerful.” LuAnn Tallman, the principal: “The books are important, but it’s Carole’s and Joe’s relationship with the children that has made the biggest difference in their reading.” Carole and Joe don’t forget. “They will recognize the kids and say, ‘We remembered this book for you,’” Tallman says.

“They’re willing to give freely of themselves to make these kids feel good about reading and feel good about life.” The connection is evident in the plastic bin under Alyssa’s bed, packed tightly with more than 2,000 letters from children at the schools. A colorful wire sculpture that depicts Alyssa reading, from Harrington Elementary, sits on her dresser. Iowa Elementary’s library is now named after her. The foundation, Joe says simply, “keeps her memory alive. It’s creating some type of legacy, and I guess we just didn’t want her story to end.” Every Christmas, Carole places under the tree a stack of gift-wrapped books for Alyssa. One by one, she’ll read them throughout the year, in the quiet of Alyssa’s bedroom or the loft at the cabin or her gravesite. “I do read out loud and I talk to her,” Carole says. “I ask her what she thinks about the book. … It’s a connection — the book — and I don’t know why.” Perhaps it just keeps the door open. Joe likes to tell the kids at the schools “every book you open, the more doors you open, and the more doors open for you.” One day, a young boy came up to him, book in hand. He turned a page. “Mr. Joe,” he said, “I’m opening a door here.” The boy smiled. Joe smiled at the memory. A connection made. One more line in a story being written one book at a time, one child at a time, by a little girl and the family who misses her. That’s a story of hope. And of love. And that’s the best story of all.

Commissioners push for library changes Vote on trustee selection process set for March 26 By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com A meeting with Douglas County commissioners went nowhere for library trustees wanting to know what’s in store from the county. The Douglas County Library board of trustees met with commissioners Feb. 25 in hopes of gaining insight into the commissioners’ next step with trustee appointments. The three commissioners are expected to vote March 26 on whether they will take over the appointment process. Earlier in February, commissioners surprised trustees with a resolution to return library board appointments to the hands of county commissioners. For the past two decades, the library board has recommended members in decisions ratified by county commissioners. Commissioner Jill Repella, District 3, did not provide insight into how the appointment process would change, simply saying the library district should be overseen by elected officials.

The Feb. 25 meeting was the first dialogue between the two boards and ended when Repella left abruptly, vowing to follow through with the decision. Commissioner Jack Hilbert, District 1, was not at the meeting, but conceded LaRue displeasure with the outspoken nature of library director Jamie LaRue. LaRue has been with the library district for more than 22 years and raised his profile as a feature columnist, blogger and driver of innovative library services. His most recent project at the district was increasing the library’s eBook catalog by advancing a direct link to eBook publishers. LaRue is also a plaintiff in the case against the Douglas County School District’s voucher program. To file the lawsuit, the ACLU needed county taxpayers as plaintiffs. LaRue’s was the most recognizable name on the list. The use of LaRue’s name in matters of public discourse ranks among Hilbert’s beefs. Hilbert believes LaRue’s controversial points of view hurt the library district in the 2008 election, when 52.6 percent of the voters said no to a library mill levy increase.

‘It is going to fundamentally change the nature of this board and by definition the way (the library district) is run. That is heartbreaking for those of us who have worked to make this what it is.’ Library Trustee Amy Hunt “I believe that loss was a direct reflection of how people feel about some of the activities of the director,” Hilbert said. “We have an obligation as elected officials to make sure we achieve our greater mission. The fact is that bringing up issues that irritate the community has no benefit. You cannot separate your job title from what you’re doing. If you do anything that jeopardizes our mission, we really need to bring that into question. We need to look at that.” Hilbert said his opinion does not reflect the opinion of the board of county commissioners. LaRue said his actions have no reflection on the library board of trustees. If the issue is a matter of First Amendment rights, it could be time to ask more probing questions, LaRue said.

“The notion that we are a community of like-minded individuals could be a dangerous proposition,” LaRue said. “Who is the enforcer? Who says what we can talk about? It’s not the library. “If the issue is free speech and the director must be silenced, I think we need to be talking about the deeper role of the public library. What is our mission in public life?” Library board members support latitude in LaRue’s personal expressions and fear the board appointment policy will become a political, polarized process. “It is going to fundamentally change the nature of this board and by definition the way (the library district) is run,” said Amy Hunt, trustee at large. “That is heartbreaking for those of us who have worked to make this what it is.”

One fireworks display, with a backup plan Chamber aims, misses in attempt to move event to Starlighting By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com The Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce had hopes to move an Independence Day tradition to November, but those hopes came up short. Chamber President Pam Ridler on Feb. 19 asked town council to consider permanently moving the town’s annual fireworks display to the November Starlighting event. Councilmembers gave her request serious consideration.

Last year’s Fourth of July fireworks were canceled across Colorado because of drought conditions. Castle Rock hosted the display in mid-November, during its holiday Starlighting celebration. The celebration each year kicks off the holiday season with a downtown festival and lighting of the star that sits atop Castle Rock’s rock monument. The 2012 Starlighting celebration included the grand opening of the town’s outdoor ice rink and drew a record crowd. In previous years, Starlighting drew about 12,000 to 14,000 people, Ridler said. The 2012 event was too heavily attended to get a crowd estimate, she said. “We have no idea this last time because it was just overwhelming,” Ridler said. “We didn’t get a good handle trying to estimate,

but it was much more than in previous years.” Those numbers moved one councilmember to support a permanent move of the fireworks to Starlighting instead of July 4. The town’s Fourth of July display draws between 2,000 and 4,000 visitors each year, depending on the venue and type of event, said Kristin Trbovich, Castle Rock business analyst. The cost of having two events would add about $30,000 to the fireworks budget, Trbovich said. While most councilmembers were interested in the Starlighting option, Clark Hammelman, District 6, voiced the strongest interest. “If we had that many that showed up for Starlighting and only two to four thousand

at July 4th, we ought to take that into consideration,” Hammelman said. “I lean toward having Starlighting be the (fireworks event) and let Fourth of July be the backup. It seems the best way to get the most bang for our buck.” Town council opted to leave the July 4 tradition untouched and name Starlighting the automatic default venue for a fireworks celebration in the event of a cancellation. “I had so much fun (at Starlighting) and thought it was so tremendous last year,” said Mayor Paul Donahue, District 1. “At Starlighting I thought fireworks made a tremendous difference … but I don’t want to take away the tradition of fireworks on Fourth of July. It’s part of our national heritage and a great celebration of Independence Day for our country.”

Road extension poised for construction Motorists pleased; neighbors fear impact

NORTH MEADOWS EXTENSION BY THE NUMBERS • Total project cost — $55.6 million • Castle Rock’s portion — $20 million in TAP bonds, approved by voters in 2005; $14.7 million in impact fees, use tax and fund balance transfer. • Colorado Department of Transportation — $4.6 million • Douglas County — $8.5 million

By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com Residents got a look at Castle Rock’s biggest road project in town history, poised for construction after years of planning. The North Meadows Extension will connect The Meadows to Interstate 25, in part to relieve congestion at the Founders/I-25 interchange. Nearly 100 residents of Castle Rock and Castle Pines attended the Feb. 26 open house to hear more about the $55.6 million road partially paid for by a taxpayer-approved bond issuance. The North Meadows Extension will be a two-lane extension of North Meadows Drive east of Castle View High School. The road will cross Santa Fe/U.S. 85 at Castlegate Drive, near the Outlets of Castle Rock and The Pines apartments. The road will continue east to I-25, connecting at a new interchange about a mile north of the Founders/Meadows Parkway exit. Construction on the first phase of the project is expected to begin in 2013. Residents who visited the open house at Castle View High School were mixed between neighbors concerned about the po-

That’s why I’d like to see it in there.” The resolution came about a month after the County Sheriffs of Colorado released a position paper on possible gun control legislation entitled “The Second Amendment is not a guideline but rather a right.” In its position paper, the group decried the gun-control measures introduced by state lawmakers, calling the measures

COUNTY RESOLUTION

From the Board of Douglas County Commissioners resolution in defense of the rights provided in the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution: • Studies by the National Academies of Science and the Centers for Disease Control have found no persuasive evidence that “gun control” laws reduce crime. • The vast majority of all lawfully-owned firearms in the United States are not used in a crime. • Studies by the National Academies of Science and the Centers for Disease Control have found no persuasive evidence that “gun control” laws reduce crime. • The Board of Douglas County Commissioners supports efforts at the federal, state and local level to increase resources for the early identification of serious mental health issues and increased access to treatment, along with efforts to reduce the stigma associated with such access and treatment. “hasty reactions to unfortunate tragedies.” It urged the state legislature to hold any decision for at least a year. “Our sympathies are with the victims in the Aurora theater shooting and at Sandy Hook,” the CSOC wrote. “However, the Sheriffs do not believe this is the appropriate time to introduce gun control legislation because decisions likely will be made on emotion rather than reason and that is not in the best interest of Colorado.” The 2013 CSOC board of directors include sheriffs Shayne Heap of Elbert County and Dave Weaver of Douglas County. Heap addressed backlash to his stated position in a Feb. 23 Facebook post. “I have received calls/emails lately that my political and religious views should be kept to myself,” Heap wrote. “This seems to be associated with recent trips to the Capitol to make my opposition to pending gun legislation known as well as my unashamed views as a Christian. Just to be clear, I have no intention of keeping anything to myself. Have a safe night in Elbert County or wherever you find yourself this evening. As we all know, it’s not possible to legislate evil so do your part to keep yourself and your family safe. God bless ….”

Founders,” Tripet said. “Founders loads up unbelievably fast and there’s no alternative to get on the west side.” Relieving congestion at the Founders interchange ranked high on the town’s goals when planning began. Another concern

was the impact on Santa Fe/U.S. 85, where the nearest access to I-25 was Happy Canyon Road. The solution for U.S. 85 was Castlegate Drive, an option decried by some residents of Castle Pines Village. Village residents Lydia and Gene Roberts were joined by several neighbors who hoped the town would select access elsewhere. The couple has attended every open house about the extension, dreading the day construction begins. The new extension will pass within a football field of their house, Lydia Roberts said. “The Atrium option would have given them access to stores and retail businesses and not threatened the value of our house,” she said. “They’re missing an excellent opportunity to have people shop.”

Snow-day decision is careful choice Schools say process involves team, hours of assessment By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Bill Moffitt didn’t sleep at all the night of Feb. 24. The Douglas County School District’s chief operations officer was monitoring the first serious winter storm of the 2012-13 school year, considering whether the 90-minute delay DCSD already had called for the next day’s classes was enough. By 4 a.m., Moffitt and the team that together makes calls during inclement weather agreed it was. That decision didn’t meet with everyone’s approval. By the time the shortened school day ended, DCSD’s Facebook page had racked up nearly 1,000 comments on the delay. Some accused the district of putting lives at risk; others said it was “the perfect choice.” It never is a hasty choice. Storm tracking starts before the first snowflake swirls from the sky, with school officials checking the National Weather Service, local forecasts and other sources. “We try to predict what the impact will be during the normal school day,” Moffitt said.

School buses wait to pick up students outside of Ranch View Middle School during a light snow flurry Feb. 26. Douglas County School District has a snow team that evaluates road conditions and recommends delays or closures related to weather. Photo by Courtney Kuhlen About 2 a.m. on a potential snow day, snow removal crews typically start clearing school parking lots. Assigned bus drivers also are dispatched during the wee hours to drive the roads and relay their assessment to the decision-making team. About 4 a.m., Moffitt, public

information office Randy Barber, county transportation officials and DCSD maintenance and grounds staff hold a conference call to compare notes and reach consensus. Barber calls Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen with the recommendation. She makes the final decision.

Barber then gets busy. “I’ve got kind of a laundry list of communications avenues we use,” he said. “As soon as a decision is made, we get the (DCSD) website updated, our social media (sites), our app, and text messaging feature. We let the media know. We go through that list as quickly as we

can.” They also must notify staff, including bus drivers who may be en route to the bus barn. Eight-year DCSD bus driver James Stirling admits he wasn’t thrilled with the district’s Feb. 25 call, but agreed with it given the day’s steadily improving weather. “We’d have been happier if we didn’t have to do it,” he said. “Lots of times, we as drivers have a certain feeling about what’s going on and administration has other feelings. We sometimes have kind of a restless night the night before.” Even in poor conditions, school buses handle well, he said. “I feel better driving my school bus in a snowstorm than my own car,” he said. “A school bus is big and heavy, so it has quite a bit of traction.” Buses are equipped with automatic, drop-down chains, as well as manually applied chains. Moffitt hopes people understand the complexities of weather-related decisions. “I think what’s important to know is that we don’t get up and look out our window and just rely on that information to make that decision,” Moffitt said. “There’s a lot of things that have to come to pass. “The cost is not even entered into the picture. It’s about the safety of students, staff and making sure we’re delivering the education we’re charged to deliver.”

Principal steers students through change Award-winner Tarbell empathizes with young people in middle school By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Principal Karen Tarbell sees to the heart of middle school students, beyond surface, sometimes-perplexing behavior to their quest for identity. “It’s like going into your closet and trying on a whole bunch of different clothes — that’s what they do in middle school,” said the leader of Parker’s Cimarron Middle School. “Their brains are growing. Their bodies are growing at an incredible rate. They’re fragile, even more so than firstgraders. “They need adults in their environment that like them in spite of all this, that will say, `Wow, I bet

that’s really hard for you.’” Tarbell’s dedication to those middle schoolers earned her the 2013 Administrator of the Year Apple Award, the Douglas County School District’s annual recognition of top staff. “Karen is a passionate leader who recognizes that to be the best, you must always put children first,” said Mark Schaffer, DCSD’s director of middle schools. The honor is a sweet way to mark Tarbell’s final year at DCSD. She is retiring in the spring after 25 years in the district. “Cimarron’s in a great place,” she said. “I have two beautiful grandchildren I want to spend some time with. It’s just the right time for me to make a change.” Tarbell worked first as a Highlands Ranch teacher, then as principal at Sierra Middle School. She found her niche in administration, and opened now 5-yearold Cimarron in 2008. “I’ve never wanted to do much else than be a principal,” she said. “This is where you have the most

impact.” Middle school also is the age at which she believes educators have the most impact. “I think (middle school students) can get ignored,” she said. “They turn out to be great adults, but they just have to go through this.” “This” is an age of fluctuating hormones when everyday incidents can seem life-changing. “You want to give them hope for the future,” Tarbell said. “They’ll make a mistake and sometimes they’ll think it’s the end of the world. And I say, `The great thing about life is tomorrow’s a do-over. I guarantee you tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, you’re going to be presented with a similar situation. And you’ve got an opportunity to make a different choice’.” Tarbell deflected much of the credit for her award and Cimarron’s success to her staff. “This isn’t a solo act,” she said. “I have a lot of people that make me look good.”

Call re-elected as state GOP chairman

Incumbent fends off f, iny be former Douglas river asn’t party leader b. 25

n theBy Ryan Boldrey her. rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com if we Colorado Republican State Party Chairiversman Ryan Call was re-elected to his post hat’sover the weekend, defeating former Dougn haslas County Republican Chairman Mark haveBaisley. night The two met Feb. 27 at the Highlands Ranch Sheriff’s Substation for their only dehoolbate prior to the March 2 election. “I believe the GOP, the Grand Old Party, hoolought to stand for the Great Opportunity ownParty,” said Arapahoe County resident Call, s bigwho has served as state party chair since bit of2011. “We need to invite into our party

autowell

those who may not agree with us 100 percent. From the Reagan Democrats to the Ron Paul libertarians to the social conservatives, we need them all to be able to build a winning majority.” Baisley, who served as the Douglas County Republican Party chairman from 2011-2013, decided to challenge Call after receiving calls of support from across the state following a November election that saw Colorado Democrats take back the state House, retain control of the state Senate and help re-elect President Barack Obama. In Douglas County, the numbers looked quite different from the rest of the state, as Republicans dominated local elections, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney secured 62 percent of the vote and the GOP had 97 percent voter turnout. Baisley’s biggest bone of contention with the state GOP has concerned a purported lack of organization and solid infrastruc-

ture. He presented a bottom-up business plan Feb. 27 that he would like to see the state GOP implement moving forward. “The single area where I hope that my candidacy will influence Ryan is in developing and implementing a much more effective infrastructure,” he said after receiving the news he had been defeated 272.33 to 158.67 by the Colorado Republican Central Committee. Disappointed in defeat, the Roxborough resident said he would support Call 100 percent and that there was no room for divisiveness in the party moving forward. “It’s just too serious right now not to stand united,” Baisley said. “If Chairman Call were to give me a buzz and ask for my participation I would be more than happy to provide that, but I think when there is a decision made by the body like that, the person who did not win needs to step aside unless he is asked by the winner to help.” Baisley also said for the party to be suc-

cessful, there needs to be more focus on not beating each other up in primaries. “We need to have more respect for anyone who steps up to run,” he said. “We never want to discourage the next Ronald Reagan. We do a lot of shooting each other in the foot in the primaries and wind up with someone limping to the finish line.” Larkspur resident Chuck O’Reilly, the Douglas County Republican Party treasurer from February 2011 to February 2013, also made a play for a seat on the party’s state central committee, losing out to Lana ForeWarkocv in a bid for secretary. He said the reason he ran was to help improve communication within the party base. “One of the reasons the Democrats are just beating our butts is they have a better database,” he said. “We need to be better prepared to respond to smears faster and to more people. If you don’t have a database ready to respond to a smear, it sticks.”

Recommendations will be forwarded that to Legislature

tered theBy Tom Munds mak-tmunds@ourcoloradoneedu-ws.com r.” The Amendment 64 Implementation Task Force’s final meeting focused on taxation to develop recommended tax levels for commercial marijuana sales. The recommendations made on Feb. 28 suggest a 15 percent excise tax that stores would pay at the wholesale level. It was also recommended that a special sales tax be implemented for recreational marijuana, with an example of a 25 percent sales tax customers would pay when making purchases. Any special voter-approved taxes would be in addition to the state’s 2.9 percent sales tax as well as any local sales taxes. The task force discussed the issue and generally agreed that, if the state-imposed taxes were too high, users would turn to the black market for marijuana. One member suggested that keeping the total cost, including taxes, of legal recreational marijuana lower than the black market could end illegal pot sales. However, members re-

peatedly noted that because of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, any tax will require voter approval. As they wrapped up their discussions, it was noted that recommendations will be assembled into a report that, in the next two weeks, will be forwarded to the General Assembly to use in establishing rules and regulations for the new recreational marijuana industry. Colorado voters created a new industry in November by approving Amendment 64, which legalizes recreational use of marijuana by those 21 and older. When Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the voter-approved amendment into law, he created the 24-member task force to establish recommendations for regulating the new industry as guidelines for state legislative action. The governor spoke at the Feb. 28 task force meeting. He thanked the members for their thousands of hours of work. “We are entering a new and different world,” Hickenlooper said. “No matter how thoughtful we are, not every area will be adequately addressed. I think there will be unanticipated negative consequences.” He stressed the need for education and safeguards to keep marijuana out of the hands of those under 21.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Looking forward to ‘sunshine’ this month Amid what is traditionally Colorado’s snowiest month, we are marking down a week of sunshine on our calendars. Sunshine Week begins March 10. OK, it has nothing to do with the weather — it’s about open government and freedom of information. Launched by the American Society of News Editors in 2005, the initiative is timed to coincide with the birthday of the “Father of the Constitution,” James Madison, on March 16. As a media organization, we naturally embrace this national push for transparency. So should you. “Though created by journalists, Sunshine Week is about the public’s right to

OUR VIEW know what its government is doing, and why,” explains the website www.sunshineweek.org. “Sunshine Week seeks to enlighten and empower people to play an active role in their government at all levels, and to give them access to information that makes their lives better and their communities stronger.” Think of the information you have access to that could make a difference in your

daily life, your vote, your knowledge of the community. • Crime rates in your city. • Salaries of public officials at all levels of government. • Voting records of lawmakers. • Health-inspection records of local restaurants. • Arrest reports, including the name, age and address of crime suspects. • An accounting of who resides in the county jail. • A list of convicted sexual predators in your neighborhood. • Email exchanges of public officials. • A complete spending plan by your city and county.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

What do you think of banning guns on college campuses? A bill that would ban guns on Colorado’s college campuses is making its way through the General Assembly.

On a recent morning in Lone Tree, we asked some people what they thought of this idea.

“I don’t think guns have a place in an institution of learning. I think there ought to be a way to make campuses safe without guns.” — Jim Sweller, Lone Tree

“It should be an individual choice. Our forefathers came here and had a vision of why we should be able to protect ourselves.” — Ken Spadi, Littleton

“I don’t think they should mess with our constitutional rights. … I think if someone had a gun in some of these situations it might have stopped someone.” — Sharon Mahoney, Highlands Ranch

“I’m a gun advocate, but I don’t support learning institutions or working environments as an appropriate place to access weapons.” — Jim Christensen, Castle Pines

Coffee preference is black-and-white issue I am surrounded by coffee babies, featherweights, and fraidy-cats. How many times has this happened to me? Hundreds. “Coffee, black,” I say to the waiter. “Cream and sugar?” “Black.” “Room for creamy, foamy stuff, flavorings?” “Black.” “Skinny caramel latte-latte with a sprig?” “Black.” I drink coffee as black as asphalt, the way it should be. Cowboy coffee, detective coffee, no fooling around coffee, no standing in line for five minutes while it’s tricked and teased and fluffed. I am surrounded by coffee babies. Juan Valdez didn’t go all over Columbia looking for the finest beans so you could turn your coffee into a damned float. My girlfriend is a coffee baby. It’s appalling. We’re still in Phase One, when indiscretions are generally overlooked because, well, you figure it out. When we move into Phases Two and Three, watch out. She uses sugar, which is bad enough. Coffee needs to be semi-bitter, it’s not a soft drink. If you want a soft drink, drink a soft drink. She uses half and half, which completely ruins the color. Ruins it. Blands down the pitch. These mutilations cut the flavor, the color, and the poetry of a cup of coffee. Coffee should be harsh, not a damned daisy. Flavored coffees, I can’t even write the words without shaking my head, are wrong. I insist on coffee, black, hot, meaningful, complex, erotic, and not some liquid Hallmark card. That’s what you’re drinking. A liquid Hallmark card. Let me make an artist’s comparison. Acrylic paints are for babies. Oil paints are for real artists. Don’t even ask about watercolors. These commercials where some homemaker is getting high on the aroma in her kitchen, it’s all a lie. What does hot

The list goes on. Sunshine Week reinforces the need to hold public officials accountable for making sure you can access this information. Media outlets across the country will bring you reports highlighting the importance of doing so, and we’ll do our part next week and beyond. For your part, take a few moments to think about the role access to information plays in our nation’s freedoms. Also, take time to learn more about the Colorado Open Records Act (there’s tons of information online). And remember, your right to know doesn’t end with Sunshine Week on March 16.

tan sugar water smell like? I guess maybe steaming Dr Pepper. That’s exactly what you’re drinking. Steaming Dr Pepper. Go get in line at one of those Starbuckies and ask for a Steaming Dr Pepper. They will know exactly what you mean. You’ve heard that song, “Let’s have another cup of coffee and let’s have another piece of pie!” Irving Berlin. Great song. But let’s get something straight, Irving didn’t sit there and compose some junk like this: “Let’s have another frappuccino and let’s have another petite vanilla bean scone.” Come on. I was in a hurry and thought I was in good shape. A little coffee shop in an old house in Littleton. I was second in line. I’d make it to class on time. The cute girl behind the counter said to the man in front of me, “How’s your day so far? What about this rain? Huh? We need the moisture. We need the moisture. We need the moisture.” Man, am I tired of hearing that. If we need the moisture, we need the moisture. The same person who says, “We need the moisture,” will say, “This cake is moist.” Geez. What’s with all of the moisture? What else? “These mashed potatoes are moist. These beagles are moist.” I’m second in line and they’ve had a chance to talk about the weather, and I’m thinking there’s still hope. I was wrong. The dude’s order took about three minutes, and I never heard the word “coffee” once. What’s the point? They should have a line for coffee babies, and a line for the rest of us, who know what we’re doing. I ordered coffee once and the kid said, “Room for cream?” And I said, “Room for

Teachers’ deal is far superior to others’

In the article “School board gets bright financial news,” reporter Jane Reuter states, “PERA is the teachers’ equivalent of Social Security.” PERA is, of course, Public Employees Retirement Association. The claim of equivalence is not accurate. PERA is far superior to Social Security. Hitting some highlights, PERA has a defined benefit or defined contribution choice, participants can take a lump sum

pay out at termination of employment and, most importantly, PERA invests in a wide range of securities domestically and internationally. None of these features exist in Social Security. It would be accurate to say PERA replaces Social Security, but to say it is “equivalent” obscures that PERA is much better than Social Security. Michael Wallace Highlands Ranch

Don’t let rhythm of day get out of time The other day I was just cranking out work, I was on top of my game, calls were going well and meetings even better. It really seemed that I was moving efficiently and almost effortlessly from one task to the next and with each passing achievement I just fell into a smoother groove. I found my rhythm. Has that ever happened to you? I mean that feeling when you are in step with your goals, in harmony with your work and with your team, and everyone and everything has melded into synchronicity? I have to tell you I love it when it does happen, I just wish it would happen more, don’t you? So a few thoughts about finding and maintaining our rhythm of the day come to mind. First, instead of just wishing or hoping that we catch that rhythm or find our groove, we can actually be in more control of manifesting the harmony we desire each day. We can do that by setting the pace early in the day, getting after the most pressing tasks and “to-dos” items on our list instead of starting the day doing the things we know will only slow us down. We can engage others around us in a positive, chin up, head held high, shoulders back, enthusiastic and inviting attitude. We can turn productivity into a game, seeing how much we can actually get accomplished in a certain span of time.

It’s like dancing right? When we see someone or a couple that are dancing and they are in step with the music, rhythm, and each other, they look like they are floating on air, and more importantly they look like the happiest people on earth. And when you look at people who are, well, dancing rather poorly, you can tell that it’s forced and they are clearly out of step with no rhythm whatsoever. Secondly, there are times when we find our rhythm of the day, but then something comes along that knocks us off balance, disrupts our pace and harmony. It could be a little drama, maybe a distraction, or an unexpected urgent event that causes us to slow down or maybe even come to an immediate stop. I’ll bet this has happened to you too, I know it has happened to me. The key is not to let the drama, distractions, urgent events or fire drills derail the Norton continues on Page 9

Sequestration and our debt crisis When Adm. Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked in a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing what he thought was the greatest threat to the national security of the United States, he didn’t say it was Iran, North Korea, or even al-Qaeda. The admiral, without hesitation, said the greatest threat to our country is our debt. Since 2009, our deficits have been over $1 trillion each year and our debt has climbed from $10.6 trillion to $16.6 trillion. In response to demands for action to curb our debt crisis, in July 2011 the Congress passed and President Obama signed the Budget Control Act (BCA), which required a cap on yearly spending and future deficit reduction. This reduction was supposed to come from the so called “Super Committee,” but if they failed to pass a plan (and they did), the backup plan was across-the-board cuts of $1.2 trillion. These cuts are to be spread over a 10-year period, equally divided between defense and non-defense spending. The cuts equal only 2 percent of total federal spending but they have a dispro-

portionate impact: They mostly fall on what is called “discretionary” spending and that represents only about a third of the budget. The other two-thirds of the federal budget is either interest payments on our debt or what is called “mandatory” spending and is primarily driven by entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. These are mostly exempt from sequester — so while defense spending is about 19 percent of total spending, it is taking half of the spending cuts. The major flaw in the sequester is that it is across-the-board. All programs subject to it are cut equally, regardless of their

value. This is particularly damaging in defense spending, where no strategic considerations can be used to program the cuts. We will cut items critical to our front-line troops the same as we cut military bands, or administrative positions. I introduced legislation (HR 804) to cancel the across-the-board cuts to defense spending and instead replace them with smarter, more targeted cuts. I tried to focus on reducing headquarters and support functions, and to avoid limiting our strategic flexibility to counter emerging threats to our national security. But just like in defense spending, this need to be smarter in where we cut is true for non-defense spending as well. Instead of a sequester, we need to prioritize spending in order to protect our military, our veterans, our seniors and families from being negatively impacted. The sequester was intended to be a placeholder to give Congress the time to come up with an alternative plan before it would be automatically implemented in 2013. That is why I voted for it. And yet, nothing happened, and there has been no

agreement. I believe the only way to resolve the problem is through a grand bargain whereby Democrats yield on entitlement reform to slow the growth of spending and so protect the future of these programs, and Republicans put revenue on the table through closing credits and deductions for corporations and individuals. Until this happens we are hurting our seniors and threatening our nation’s financial solvency. Social Security and Medicare, and thus our federal budget, are not sustainable without reforms. We cannot solve our problem only through raising new revenues, and scaremongering on entitlement reforms means that the real structural problems in federal spending are being ignored. I will continue to work in a bipartisan manner towards developing a fiscally responsible plan.

Students conquer elements, selves Expeditionary Learning program takes kids outside comfort zone By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com With blinding, wind-whipped snow buffeting their young faces, 21 Castle Rock sixth-graders snowshoed six miles up a mountain trail last month as part of their class curriculum. Seven of those 21 opted to take their outdoor education a step further, sleeping under the stars in a shallow snow trough while temperatures dipped into the 20s. The experiences were part of an annual four-day Winter Voyage, organized through Renaissance Elementary Magnet School’s Expeditionary Learning program. An extension of Outward Bound, it exposes students to challenging experiences with results that flow into all facets of their lives. “Basically, we put them in situations outside their comfort

zone but not to their panic zone,” teacher Lisa Johnson said. “They learn to value being between the two — in their growth zone. And they learn they can do a lot more than they thought they could.” Not all who participated in the Feb. 11-14 trip on Cameron Pass near Fort Collins believed they’d finish the six-mile hike to Lake Agnes. Conditions were brutal, Johnson said. “I was tired, cold, and scared,” wrote Jeannette in a class-required journal entry about the experience. “The hill was steep and the wind was blowing, hard. I couldn’t stop for a rest because my feet would get more pained and numb then they already were. The only choice I had was to keep going. “Before this hike, I thought I wasn’t very good at pushing myself to accomplish goals. I know that I can accomplish anything if I just focus on that and work hard,” she concluded. Classmate Colin wrote that he kept his head down, “hoping it

would just end” “My goal on this voyage was to … go from my nervous zone to a freakishly awesome zone. I went from slow huffy-puffy breathing Colin to fast-paced, awesome Colin.” The students and adult supervisors that include trained backcountry guides stay in cabins that have wood-burning stoves but no electricity or indoor toilets. They learn how to build snow shelters, avalanche awareness, proper backcountry attire and equipment, and how to prevent and combat hypothermia. “A lot of these things are just to be smart Colorado residents,” Johnson said. “As far as what they learned about themselves, that’s way more important to me.” Those lessons were not only in self-reliance, but teamwork. “We had kids who were struggling, and they were encouraging each other, really supporting each other,” she said. “You wouldn’t believe the camaraderie this builds.”

Sixth-graders snowshoe up Cameron Pass near Fort Collins during February’s four-day Winter Voyage. Courtesy photo Johnson’s already used the experience her students had during those four days to guide them in more practical matters. One of the students recently told her he was anxious about a test. She responded, “I’ve seen you make it up to Lake Agnes in a freezing, six-mile hike. I know you

can get through this hour-long test.’ And he did.” That newfound self-assurance is almost universal among children who participate in the program. “I see their confidence just soar,” Johnson said. “It’s the most amazing thing.”

“She raised the bar enormously, in terms of my respect for her.” Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, was not there when Murray gave her remarks. But the openly gay Moreno said that after listening to them afterward, he is “very appreciative” for Murray’s “incredible message of acceptance.” “It took a lot of courage to do what she did,” Moreno said. Murray told Colorado Community Media she informed her husband about her decision to vote yes a week prior to the hearing. She said she has relatives who are gay, and her children also have gay friends, but that, ultimately, wanting “equal protection of our citizens” is “how I was taught as a Christian.” “That was part of the way I grew up,” she said. “You treat everyone with equal respect.” So far, Murray is one of two Republicans in the Legislature who have publicly supported the civil unions bill. The other is Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango, who voted for the bill when it was in the Senate last month. Now, the question is how Murray’s vote will go over in her very conservative district,

one where she has been elected three times by wide margins. “It surprised me,” said Craig Steiner, chairman of the Douglas County Republicans. “I think we were all surprised. But it was her vote. And she doesn’t answer to me. She answers to the people in her district.” Steiner said it is premature to know whether anyone will end up running against Murray in next year’s primary. However, he did acknowledge that while he had seen some support for her vote through the social media world, he had also seen criticism. “Obviously, not everyone is happy,” said Steiner, who was not speaking for himself. “But that’s a matter for the voters to decide. Murray said she is “ready for the discussion” with members of her community, saying she’s proud of her “very conservative voting record.” “If 95 percent of the time you’re a conservative, does that other 5 percent make you a RINO (Republican in name only)? I think we need to get past that. “I’m gonna be able to look at myself in the mirror and be OK with what I did. (The voters) understand that my vote is my vote. But I have to take what comes my way.”

them religious. Proponents say the program broadens educational options, but opponents say it blurs the line that separates church and state and pulls funding from traditional schools. Denver District Court Judge Michael Martinez agreed with the plaintiffs in August 2011, stopping the program days after some voucher recipients started class at their chosen schools. Becky Barnes’ autistic son was among those granted a voucher in 2011. The window of time during which the Castle Rock mother said he needed help from a teacher skilled in sensory issues has closed, and he now attends the district’s online school. She welcomed the ruling regardless. “I’m feeling so happy for the families that will be able to use this when the program continues,” she said. “For me (and others) that weren’t able to use the program, it’s kind of a mixed emotion. But I completely believe in the program and will continue to

support it.” Carson says the program is intended for children like Barnes’ son. “All kids learn differently,” he said. “Some are well suited to traditional neighborhood schools. Some work better in private settings. We just think if we really care about kids and their priorities, we should embrace those other types of options.” The plaintiffs’ concern with the program, however, isn’t solely about school choice, but its legality. “I don’t understand how a judge could conclude it was constitutional,” LaRue said. “Where (the Colorado Constitution) said public monies could not be redirected to either private or religious schools … I don’t know how else to describe what the voucher program was doing, if not that.” Judge Steve Bernard, who disagreed with Judges Dennis Graham and Jerry N. Jones, wrote a dissent that spans 56 pages of the 119-page ruling. The ruling is available online at http:// bit.ly/WjOq3S.

Experts offer tips to cope with fear By Rhonda Moore

SUPPORT FOR YOUR CHILDREN

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com

When Parker resident Paul Snogren got a 1 a.m. telephone call about a criminal in his neighborhood, he secured his house but there was one thing he didn’t do. He didn’t wake up his wife. Snogren was among 3,000 residents of Clarke Farms alerted when an arrest attempt in Castle Rock ended in a manhunt in his neighborhood. He spent the pre-dawn hours on the phone with a friend, checking his windows and glued to any social network that would give him information about what was going on in the dark. “That’s the one thing … when we heard about locations I wanted to know this isn’t right directly in my -long backyard,” Snogren said. “I wanted to know how diligent I really needed to ance be in my house.” chilSnogren’s wife slept through the proincident, but it was after 4:30 a.m. before Snogren was able to get back to just sleep. His first order of business the most next morning was to check the access points in his house, re-secure a sliding glass door and add the Parker Police Department to his Twitter feed. His actions reflected a coping strategy pivotal to re-establishing a sense of security, according to the professionals at the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network. The network issued a list of recommendations in the wake of the Clarke

• Talk with them about their concerns over safety. Remind them of ways you keep them safe. • Go over your family’s communication plan and practice phone numbers. • Listen twice as much as you talk. Be aware of what their concerns might be. • Give clear, simple answers. If you don’t know the answer to a question, it’s OK to say that. Source: Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network Farms incident, with tips for residents whose security has been shaken. Among the first steps is to reach out to friends and family, minimize exposure to media coverage, limit intake of altering substances and maintain healthy routines in diet and exercise. Laurie Elliott, division director and child and family services clinical director, shared added tips for parents. “If you remain calm, your children are much more likely to remain calm as well,” Elliott wrote in an essay days after the Clarke Farms incident. “Children will be watching and listening to you as their parents and trusted caregivers. Be aware of their level of interest in the situation as well as their level of reaction. Be open to your children’s questions about what happened.” Elliott recommends encouraging children and teens to discuss their concerns and express their feelings; share information in an age-appropriate manner; limit viewing of televised

‘If you remain calm, your children are much more likely to remain calm as well. Children will be watching and listening to you as their parents and trusted caregivers.’ Laurie Elliott, Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network reports; spend extra time with your children and family; and remind children that tragic incidents are uncommon and that their neighborhoods and schools are safe places. Elliott recommends parents to review a safety plan with their children, ensure children know their address, phone numbers and a safe adult neighbor they can contact when parents are not available.

Law enforcement offers mobile alerts Agencies urge registration for uses of mobile devices By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com A shooting in Castle Rock. A lockdown at a high school. A midnight arrest that got out of control. Criminal activities in the last two weeks of February ended in gunfire in a quiet neighborhood in Castle Rock and a six-hour manhunt in a Parker neighborhood. Police fired at a car containing three suspected burglars Feb. 21 in Castle Rock’s Plum Creek neighborhood, in an incident that resulted in the lockdown of DC Oakes High School. Two days later, Parker residents living in Clarke Farms were advised via CodeRED to remain in their homes when an arrest in Castle Rock went awry. The reverse notification arrived around 1 a.m. Feb. 23, while police searched for a suspect who exchanged fire with officers in Castle Rock before

leading police on a chase, abandoning his car and fleeing on foot somewhere near Clarke Farms. The incidents prompted law enforcement agencies to remind residents to register with the county’s CodeRED emergency notification system. CodeRED delivers public safety messages with high-speed telephone emergency notification to residents. The system automatically reaches residences and businesses with CenturyLink landlines, said Deborah Sherman, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman. Mobile devices are another thing. Cell phones are not automatically registered in the CodeRED system but can be added for emergency alerts at no cost. Residents can register a cell number or email address to ensure notification arrives, whether at home or at work. The system can target specific areas with prerecorded phone messages, emails or texts and requires

contact information associated with addresses. To register a mobile device, go online to NotifyDouglasCounty.org and enter a full name, street address, city, state, ZIP code and primary phone number. Data is kept confidential, according to the sheriff’s office, and messages will be identified by caller ID with the name “Emergency Comm.” The most recent test of the system was in October, when CodeRED reported 147,000 Douglas County phone numbers were registered with the system, Sherman said. Since then, an additional 58,000 have been opted in, she said. “Code RED has been so impressed with our reach they want to use us as an example nationwide,” Sherman said. “I just think people are really responsible in Douglas County.” CodeRED can reach cell phones with text messages or a phone call and is triggered by criminal activity, wildfires and other potentially life-threatening events.

Cast members perform in Castle View High School’s production of “Anything Goes.” Photos by Courtney Kuhlen

Play is ‘one of best ever’ Castle View High students produce ‘Anything Goes’ By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com In a school known for its artistic accomplishments, describing a production as “one of the best to ever hit the Castle View High School stage” is no small bit of praise. But that’s how confident those involved in CVHS’ “Anything Goes” are. “Anything Goes,” playing March 7, 8 and 9, is the famed 1934 Cole Porter musical comedy about lover, liars and clowns on a transatlantic cruise. It follows the SS American out to sea and on a course to love with a crew that includes singing sailors and other unexpected characters. Castle View places a strong focus on the arts, with a dedicated Visual and Performing Arts Academy. “That’s the focus of a fourth of our students,” said theater teacher Stephanie Morris. Funds raised from the production of “Anything Goes” support the Visual and Performing Arts Academy.

Cast members of Castle View’s production of “Anything Goes” get ready before a dress rehearsal Feb. 27. In part because of Castle View’s emphasis on the arts, Morris said the musical’s quality exceeds typical expectations for a secondary school performance. “We really try and set our standards above what you would say a high school production is, with all aspects of our show,” she said. “We’ve had so many people come

to us and say, `We didn’t think they were high school students.’ It’s so professional they forget during the performance they were watching high school-aged students.” Morris describes “Anything Goes” as allAmerican entertainment that includes tap dancing, jazz music and a love story. “All those things you look for in a musical,” she said. Students not only star in the show, but also designed costumes and built sets. Rehearsal began in January, running after school five days a week and on Saturdays. “This is like a varsity team sport,” Morris said. “It is that level of rigor and commitment. It’s just a different game. All their practice instills confidence.” While Morris wants to pack the seats for the performances, she doesn’t want people to come solely out of a sense of obligation. “It’s worth seeing not only for the hard work the kids have put in, but for the quality of the production,” she said. “We want people to know what’s going on at Castle View. The arts are really thriving in our public education in Douglas County. Come and see. You’re going to be surprised.” Performances are at 7 p.m. March 7, 8 and 9 with a 1 p.m. March 9 matinee. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and can be purchased online at www.castleviewtheatre.com.

Hudson Gardens gets one big nest 22-foot-tall sculpture near songbird area By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Joshua Wiener’s new sculpture, “Collective Nest,” arrived in two pieces and was bolted together on-site at Hudson Gardens earlier in February. The location for the 22-foot-tall piece is just west of the amphitheater, near the new Songbird Garden, where planting will be completed this spring with perennials that provide food for birds. (Specially chosen bird-attractive trees and shrubs were planted in fall 2012, and feeders were installed.) Wiener comes by his sculpture career naturally — his mother, Madeline Wiener, established the Marble Institute in Marble, Colo., and has public works throughout Denver, including a figure in front of Goodson Recreation Center and the relief figures on the Lamont School of Music at DU. Joshua Wiener, a Boulder resident with a studio in Denver, has commissioned works

Two business turnaround experts have added Colorado spots that need saving in this season’s TV episodes. Hotel “fixer” Anthony Melchiorri, who has more than 20 years in the hospitality business and has turned around highprofile places, including The Algonquin in New York City, will tackle the Western Riviera Motel in Grand Lake on “Hotel Impossible” at 8 p.m. MST March 25 on the Travel Channel. While the hotel needed some major overhauling, Melchiorri reportedly fell in love with Grand Lake. “I will go on record saying it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever been,” Melchiorri told Sky-Hi News. “I was blown away. Grand Lake is a piece of art. Every single time you turn around there is either frozen lake with a beautiful cloud over it, or there’s a part of the lake that’s not frozen with a sun over it, or there’s a mountain by itself or a formation of mountains. I’ve not seen the same landscape since I’ve been here. “And then you take this beautiful town of Grand Lake that looks like the back lot of a Hollywood studio and you incorporate that with just beautiful, open-hearted people who know each other — it’s my favorite place, and it is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. And I thought Alaska and Hawaii would be tops, and this surprised me.” For more on Melchiorri and “Hotel Impossible,” go to www.travelchannel.com/ tv-shows/hotel-impossible. For information on the Western Riviera, go to www. westernriv.com/. Meanwhile, longtime food and beverage industry consultant John Taffer tries to save failing watering holes on Spike TV’s show “Bar Rescue.” He and his crew traveled to Denver last year to turn around Zanzibar Billiards, 2046 Larimer. They spent four days filming, staff training and remodeling the Ballparkneighborhood joint. The show’s third season premiered on Feb. 10, and Taffer’s travels this year will include Denver.

You notice some “dirt” or “soot” in the ceiling above the commode, but you are not concerned. You can wipe it off another day. Wrong. It is not dirt or soot; it is mold, and although it is only small, if you do not do something immediately, the mold will continue to spread and create a potentially serious health hazard to you and your family members. Mold forms in places that either are naturally humid, or where there has been a water problem caused by a leaking roof or pipe. Some mold may be hidden behind wallpaper, under carpets or in other areas not easily seen. If not remediated quickly, mold can spread and cause neurological symptoms such as headaches, trouble concentrating, short attention span, memory loss, dizziness, or it can cause or worsen allergies or aller-

gic reactions causing skin irritation, rash, or pulmonary disease. It can even cause or aggravate life threatening chronic conditions, such as asthma, cancer or hypersensitivity pmenmontis (HP). A judge in Elbert County suffered severe pulmonary reactions not too long ago which were finally diagnosed as being caused by mold that formed in the Elbert County courthouse. Ultimately, the mold was remediated, but not before the judge went through a hellish experience fighting the symptoms. Mold can grow indoors and outdoors, and it is more prevalent in localities that have high humidity problems, unlike the dry climate that favors Colorado. Nonetheless, mold does grow in Colorado and is especially prevalent in areas affected by water and structures built with damp or wet building materials. The Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) does not recommend sampling for mold, since although there are many different types of mold, all of them present a health hazard. Mold can readily be recognized by a damp or musty smell, and the areas that have been subjected to water leaks and improper drainage will generally have telltale water stains and marks that one can be sure either contain mold or will contain mold. Once discovered, the mold should be remediated quickly. Depending on how big the mold infestation is, the cost of remediation will vary from several hundreds of dollars to many thousands. In any

To help prevent the growth of mold, the following steps are recommended: • lower indoor humidity with air conditioners, de-humidifiers and exhaust fans • inspect hoses & fittings on appliances, sinks and toilets • use household cleaners with mold-cleaning ingredients like bleach • opt for paints and primers that contain mold inhibitors • clean gutters to avoid overflow and check roof for leaks • avoid carpet in wet areas like basements and bathrooms case, drying out the affected areas may not be enough; the requirement may be that all affected areas must be removed and replaced. Mold damage has resulted in some monstrous jury verdicts including $14 million in Florida, $18 million in California and $32 million in Texas. Some well-known individuals have initiated mold law suits including Michael Jordan, Ed McMahon and Erin Brockovich. As a result, insurance companies now often have disclaimers for mold damage, so it is important to read the policy to determine if such an exclusion exists. If it does, the insurance adjuster will generally attempt to deny cover-

age claiming that the homeowner caused the mold or contributed to its spread by allowing wet areas to fester. However, if the mold is caused by a sudden and accidental incident, such as a pipe bursting, the cost of remediation probably will be covered by insurance. The reasoning is that technically the pipe burst and that caused the claim, not the mold itself. Roughly 22% of all homeowners’ insurance claims result from “water damage” and “freezing”, which includes remediation. Some insurance companies also offer mold riders to the general homeowners insurance policies. However, a mold rider could cost

an additional $500 to $1,500 a year on an existing policy, and more in humid climates. If your insurance carrier refuses to provide a rider because of the increased risk, some casualty companies might sell you a standalone mold policy if you are still concerned. However, the premiums for a standalone mold policy might range from $5,000 to $25,000, making the cost of the policy disproportionate to the value of your home. In short, the prevention of mold through safeguarding measures is, in the long run, far less expensive than remediating mold or carrying expensive insurance. The homeowner must make that choice. ■

Business of the Month Theatre of Dreams

Parker: Country radio veteran moves to New York Parker continues from Page 12

from bar manager Courtney Wilson (formerly of Williams & Graham). But enough about the food. The decor is a wonder on its own. The space, at 3316 Tejon St., was a rollerskating rink back in the day, and Old Major’s decor pays homage to its roots. The hostess stand, for example, is on roller-skate wheels. The sconces at the entrance were fashioned from split buckets that held roller skates. The floor is from the original roller rink. FinArt, a local designer and fabricator, designed many of the design elements in the modern farmhouse decor. Dinner is served seven nights a week, and reservations are available at www.opentable.com or by calling 720-420-0622. (Twenty percent of the 90-seat dining room is saved for walkins.) The website www.oldmajordenver.com is a work in progress.

New school goes old school 19th-century philosophy is receiving high marks By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcolorado news.com It may be hard to believe, but the teachings of a 19th-century, homeschooled British schoolmarm are alive, well and gaining ground among parents seeking a different approach to K-8 education. Based on the philosophy Charlotte Mason, the Ambleside School of Colorado offers what co-founder Kimberley Lorden calls a “living education,” where students author their own lives, steeped in service to the church and to others, ideas, exacting work habits and creativity. Located in Centennial, the tuition-based Christian school strives to actively engage students in the learning process — even leading their own classroom discussions on such complex topics as classical music and the founding of the Catholic Church. “It’s a different approach, indeed,” said Lorden, who started the school with her husband, Greg, to fill the needs of their own children. “In many schools, students are told to sit quietly, listen to lectures and then try to reinforce what they’ve learned through homework, and that’s not always a good model for every child.” Lorden said the school, now in its third year, alternates creative subjects such as art and music with more disciplinary subjects such as science and math, using one to frame the other for a more “balanced education that nourishes the whole person.” Minimizing the use of traditional textbooks and heavy reliance on technology, the school encourages students to foster self-ex-

Photos by Deborah Grigsby pression and the ability to evaluate new ideas on their own. Students learn Spencerian script, a type of elegant cursive handwriting that flourished at the turn of the 20th century, and was selected as the script for the logos of Ford Motor Company and Coca-Cola. Foreign-language classes are conducted in the same fashion one learns to speak a native tongue, learning meaningful words and phrases long before written grammar is introduced. Ambleside’s signature picture-study classes pull together cognitive and language skills with gradeappropriate rhetorical criticism.

“Essentially, we offer the student a bountiful feast of ideas,” explained Lorden. “We have this giant plate of ideas and students are free to choose from the selection.” However, Lorden is quick to point out that Ambleside is not an “everybody-gets-agold-star kind of school.” She said the rich curriculum is challenging and helps develop good academic habits that benefit students in other parts of life. Centennial resident Sandy Tate, whose three children attend the 60-student school, one of only six in the United States, said Ambleside gives her the best of both worlds.

“We had home-schooled our children until we discovered Ambleside,” said Tate. “The curriculum is very similar to what we would want taught at home, but gives the advantage of a more structured environment. And the kids love it so much they jump out of bed and are actually excited to go to school.” Ultimately, Lorden said, the school’s philosophy centers on building the students’ internal controls, encouraging accountability for actions based on vales and not on fear or manipulation with treats or special privileges. “We don’t believe students are simply blank

goal is to nurture individual curiosity, growth and maturity, with the child being compared only to him or herself, not those around them.”

Continental League girls stay tough Preparation pays off in playoffs presence By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Coaches have stressed all season that playing games in the Continental League is good preparation for the girls state basketball playoffs. Players must have paid attention since six Continental League teams played in the March 5 Sweet Sixteen round of the Class 5A state playoffs. Tuesday’s winners advanced to the March 7 Great Eight at the Denver Coliseum. “The Continental League prepared us,” Mountain Vista coach Mike Willahan said. “We’ve played good opponents in Highlands Ranch, Regis, ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon and Chaparral.” Mountain Vista, which opened the playoffs with a 63-34 win over George Washington, lost to Palmer, 54-43, and failed to make the Sweet Sixteen. However, Highlands Ranch, ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon, Chaparral, Castle View and Regis Jesuit did make it to the third round of the playoffs Highlands Ranch, ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon, Chaparral and Regis had firstround byes. Highlands Ranch whipped Pine Creek 71-38 in a second-round game last week as Madison Montgomery and Ciera Morgan each had 15 points in the victory. ThunderRidge jumped to a 42-18 halftime lead and toppled Rampart 63-30. Lexy Thorderson scored 22 points in Rock Canyon’s 48-40 win over Grand Junction. The Jaguars led by 10 points in the third quarter but had to outscore Grand Junction 10-4 in the final 2:36 to secure the win. Chaparral ousted Monarch, 59-48, as Katie Longwell led the way with 16 points. Katrina Bacovcin added 14 points and Kyleigh Rees finished with 11 points. Castle View beat Arvada West, 76-38, in the first round and upset Poudre, 69-59 in overtime, in Fort Collins last week.

Castle View’s Taylor Nynas falls over ThunderRidge’s Brianna Throop while going for a loose ball Feb. 19. Castle View lost 50-36. The teams met again March 5 in the playoffs, but results of the game were not available at press time. Photo by Courtney Kuhlen Alyssa Purls banked in a 3-point shot to send the game into overtime and the Sabercats outscored the Impalas, 13-3, in the extra session. “The girls battled tough and never quit,” Castle View coach Matt Hema said. “Even with several players fouled out in regulation including three starters. “I’ve always said our league prepares us for moments like this. We have had to learn how to play with a deficit against tough teams in our league and learn how to keep the games close and give ourselves a chance to win. “Sometimes you get there and some-

times you don’t,” continued Hema. “We prepare every day like it’s the playoffs because we are going against top 10 talented programs. If you don’t prepare well, you can get embarrassed in our league.” Arapahoe of the Centennial League also had an opening-round bye and had an easy 68-23 win over Brighton in the second round. The Warriors led 35-6 at halftime and Carly Buechler’s 11 points paced Arapahoe to its seventh consecutive win.

BOYS BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Local teams advance to Sweet 16 By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Denver East is everybody’s favorite to eventually win the Class 5A boys basketball state championship. It’s anybody’s guess which team in a balanced group of contenders is the best. “You just want to survive in the playoffs,” ThunderRidge coach Joe Ortiz said. “There are going to be good matchups where people are going to have to go home that are good teams. “If you took East out of it and just played a tournament and kept replaying it, you would never get the same winner. It could play out different each time.” A slew of teams from the south metro area advanced to the Sweet 16 games scheduled for March 6. Mountain Vista, ThunderRidge, Cherry Creek, Legend, Heritage and Arapahoe each had hopes of extending their seasons to the Great Eight, to be played March 8 at the Denver Coliseum. Here’s a look at some of the recent 5A playoff action: • Jake Pemberton scored 22 points and Chandler Wiscombe connected on a 4-foot bank

shot at the buzzer to lift Mountain Vista to a 59-57 second round triumph over Lincoln last Saturday. • ThunderRidge held off Overland, 67-57, as Joe Marucci scored a game-high 23 points for the Grizzlies. • Legend benefited from several second-chance points and upset Grandview, 75-67, to advance into the third round. Jonathon Cosmann scored 22 points, Blake Truman had 14 and Elijah Cherrington tossed in 10 points for the Titans. • Hot-shooting Heritage grabbed a 19-point lead after three quarters and held on to eliminate Fountain Fort Carson, 75-66, to notch its sixth consecutive win. The Eagles shot 63 percent from the field and had five players in double figures, led by Josh Stewart who had 13 points. Danny Strine and Eli Ziegler each had 12 points while Ryan Singer and Garrett Delphina both contributed 11 points. • Arapahoe held Columbine to 23 points in the first three quarters in the Warriors’ 61-47 second round triumph. • Cherry Creek jumped out to a 22-8 lead on its way to defeating Aurora Central in a second-round game March 2.

• Defending Class 5A champion Chaparral was ousted from the playoffs after a 58-51 setback to Fossil Ridge in Fort Collins. The Wolverines, led by Brandon Malone’s 18 points, made just 32 percent of their field goal attempts and ended the season with a 13-12 record. • Highlands Ranch also shot poorly from the field and the foul line in a 70-64 loss to Rangeview. Evan Motlong scored 20 points for the Falcons (17-8), who shot 33 percent from the field and made only 17-of-34 attempts from the field throw line in a game that saw a combined 79 free throws attempted.

Class 4A: Valor Christian advances

Chase Foster scored 15 points as Valor Christian defeated Widefield, 58-55, to move in the Class 4A Great 8 on March 9 at the Denver Coliseum. The Eagles (20-4) will face Sand Creek (23-3) in an 8:30 p.m. game. Valor lost, 76-61, to Sand Creek earlier this season.

Class 2A: Lutheran plays in Durango

Lutheran (16-5) finished third in last weekend’s district tournament and will face Sargent (12-11) in a semifinal Region 3 contest March 8 in Durango.

in a 75-23 win over Byers and 19 points in a 75-33 romp over Lyons captured the Class 2A District 4 tournament. This weekend, unbeaten Lutheran (210) will host the Region 4 tournament March 8-9 at Mullen High School. The Lions play Heritage Christian (14-8) and the winner will advance to Saturday’s noon championship game against the winner of the WrayRangely contest. “We kind of rolled through the regionals,” Lutheran coach Mark Duitsman said. “We’ve had five games in a row with 70plus points, which is pretty good for a girls team.”

Game-ending run puts ThunderRidge over top Grizzlies beat Overland 67-57 in boys basketball By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews. com HIGHLANDS RANCH - ThunderRidge is an undersized team who was going against an athletic and taller Overland team in a March 2 Class 5A second-round boys basketball state playoff game. It’s the kind of challenge that brings the best out of Grizzlies’ 6-foot senior Joe Marucci. Overland had a 51-50 lead with 5:21 remaining in the game when Marucci went to work and helped the Grizzlies (18-6) move into a March 6 Sweet 16 game at Fairview (21-3). Marucci scored 8 points as the Grizzlies outscored Overland 17-4 in the final five minutes for a 67-57 victory. “That’s exactly what I was hoping for, was a run,” ThunderRidge coach Joe Ortiz said. “We had four stops in a row and that might have been a key. “Joe is a big-time player in big games. The game at Mountain Vista, he had 25 and took over

in the fourth quarter. He’s had so many games like that. He’s a gamer.” Marucci scored a gamehigh 23 points and got support from Zach Rusk with 17 points and Peter Howell who added 12 points. “Joe’s got swagger,” Ortiz admitted. “He does get at people. He won’t let you intimidate him. So he’s not a typical Highlands Ranch kind of kid. He’s got a 4.3 GPA. He’s a bright kid. “He’s a free-spirited guy. He’s got a lot of toughness. He’s the kind of kid you love if you coach him. You might not love him if your go against him because of his cockiness.” Marucci sank two free throws to push ThunderRidge ahead 5251 and launched the Grizzlies’ game-ending run. He nailed a 3-point basket and drove the lane for a layup to spark a 14-2 spurt that gave ThunderRidge an 11-point cushion heading into the final two minutes of the game. “They (Trailblazers) were so explosive and dangerous,” Ortiz said. “In high school basketball, there are no easy rounds. They were making plays. It was a hard-fought game.”

IF YOUR VISION HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY GL AUCOMA, WE’RE HERE TO SEE YOU THROUGH. At the University of Colorado Eye Centers, we believe in putting all of our expertise into the fight against glaucoma, the second-leading cause of blindness in America. Regular vision exams are the first line of defense against glaucoma —which often progresses without symptoms when not treated. If you are one of the millions of Americans diagnosed with, or at risk for glaucoma, we have an arsenal of advanced diagnostic techniques and therapies ready to help you defeat this potentially blinding disease.

Our board-certified, fellowship-trained glaucoma specialists are leaders in their field – providing not only daily patient care, but pursuing research that is recognized around the world (including national awards for inventions that are changing the way we diagnose and treat eye diseases). With a proven track record as the highest-quality comprehensive eye center in the region, contact us to receive the support and expert care you need to keep your vision clear well into the future.
